Chael should have asked for the fight to be in California. That way Jones couldn't use those dirty kicks to the knee

Jon Jones kick to the thigh = take down for chael.

I bet Jon throws very little kicks in this fight, AS tryed in the first fight with chael and he took him down everytime i dont think Bones will put himself in a position like that with a fighter whos wrestling is better than most in MMA.

the kicks are to the thigh, not the knee. they are not dirty, if you think they are dirty because of the potential for injury......there are many things that are legal and just as dangerous, paul haris has caused much more damage with his heel hooks than john has with that kick technique.

its a fight, if you dont like the technique, learn to avoid or counter it, its not like he is poking him in the eye or something.

Actually, he and Anderson have both thrown kicks directly to the front of the knee. Obviously, not every time, but it's happened.

If they weren't controversial--and considered dirty by many valid opinions--they'd probably be allowed everywhere, right?

Elbows arent allowed by every promotion, does that make them dirty? Opinions vary

opinions do vary.

In many people's perceptions, elbows are indeed dirty, as are soccer kicks and stomps. So you can't really state without any doubt that they aren't dirty.

That was the point.
